| Synopsis: | Siegebreaker needs help. |
| Cast of Characters: | Jazz, Hyperdrive, Siegebreaker, Starlock, Harbinger |
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock was waiting outside on the steps of the Autobot's academy, She'd called Siegebreaker there to meet her, She'd also requested Hyperdrive to help her in what they would be doing, partly hoping he'd arrive before Siege, she had sent him a message though about the basics of what they where doing, so he wasn't totally up the river without a paddle.
After repairing Hound and Rotorstorm the other cycle, she hopped this would all go well.. She likely looked odd, just sitting there.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive has come running up. He grins brightly at her and looks like he's been running for a bit. "I grabbed extra rope if we needed it...I hope we don't need it. He's big." He looks excited to be helping his new friends even if one doesn't want to be helped.
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker makes his appearance without fanfare, looking as dismal as he always does, and even jumpier than usual. He manages a small smile for Hyperdrive and Starlock when he draws near.
"Hi. I'm here. I'm not in trouble, am I? Or - are we going somewhere? I don't know what you'd need me for."
- Starlock has posed:
"You alright? You look jumpier then normal."
She'd ask, a smile on her face, side glancing Hyperdrive to ensure he'd not give their plan away.
"Yeah we do need you for this~ and don't worry nothing violent" She'd smile, pushing herself to her feet, and over to him.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive grins brightly, "I'm too small to move some of the stuff around easily and Starlock said you could do it easy!" Especially since it's convenient that one can go from the academy to the barracks and go right past the....training simulator....yeah that's it.
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker perks up. "Oh! You're moving - and you need my help!" He looks happy that he's been called upon, much happier than he's been in a long time. "Okay! I'll help. Where are we going?"
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock felt her spark break a bit, he was happy about being needed, she felt bad about what they where going to do, and for lying to him, but she kept a straight face. She just hopped he'd not hate them for what they'ed need to do.
"Right, lead the way Hyperdrive." She'd nod.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive is suddenly very very upset with what he's trying to do. He just barely manages to keep his expression cheery as he leads them first to his room. Of course he's trying to figure what exactly is heavy enough in his room to need someone like Siegebreaker to move it. And...he decides on the shelf. He might have to drag it all the way back to his room later. But this needs to be done right? It has to be done. "Just this way..."
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker follows Hyperdrive like a little lost turbopuppy, optics bright and a spring in his step. "Where are we moving your things to?"
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock hated this, oooh did she hate this, but he'd gotten away three times already, but dammit all, he was just so dang cute! She was going to be kicking herself for a while after this, hopefully, after Siege was fully repaired and had his glaive back.
"So Siege, what where you doing before we called you?"
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive tries to focus on anything else than the fact he's betraying Siegebreaker's trust. "I'm not sure exactly where they're putting me over there. They just said to get the stuff moved out of the room so the cadets could have it. I guess I'll find out when I get there. Just glad I don't have the third floor room anymore. But I didn't want to stay there once my...my roommates weren't around anymore." He opens the room and stares at it, really NOT wanting to have to move anything if he can help it. But it was the only way to make this look less like a set up. "I...I need that shelf right there. It's kinda heavy. Are you sure you have it?" There are some assorted smaller boxes for Starlock and Hyperdrive to grab.
- Siegebreaker has posed:
"I was..." Siegebreaker pauses. "Walking. Just walking. I do that a lot."
He surveys Hyperdrive's room, taking in all of the decorations and the layout. Finally, he hones in on the indicated shelf. "That one? Okay. I've got it."
Eager to help, he makes his way to the shelf and HEAVES.
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock stared for a good long couple of minutes, letting out a whistle, just realizing what kind of strength they where going to have to contend with, and he was such a... Damn, she really was feeling guilty, but it was for a the better, meant getting his glaive back to him! Which she knew meant a lot to him, some how.
"...You did that with some relative ease."
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive grabs a box and points to the other one for Starlock. "Okay....I think that's it for this run. We can get the rest in the next trip...I don't want my stuff out if they don't have my room ready yet." He moves to lead Siegebreaker and Starlock.
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker hefts the shelf up. It blocks his view completely while he's holding it. He shuffles unsteadily towards the sound of Hyperdrive's voice. "Um... you're going to have to lead me. I can't see. I've got this, though! It's not too heavy for me!"
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock hefted up the box that was pointed out to her, following behind the duo, least they where also doing some actual work in the processes.
"We can do that Siege, uh also don't worry I got your back covered."
She'd nod, watching at Hyperdrive lead their way.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive says, "I'm hopin I can use the shelf ta make me a safe spot again. The rooms feel so open somtimes. ANd if I get a jerk roommate...well I might end up comin and visitin. I really don't want ta have to deal with livin with someone I hate." He keeps the conversation up while he walks, leading them closer and closer to impending...err towards the barracks by way of THAT place. "Ya got that okay?""
- Siegebreaker has posed:
"Is it unsafe in the barracks?" Siege almost walks into a wall, then corrects his path. "It shouldn't be - but if you're afraid... if you want help, I can look after - wait, no... no, I can't. I don't have anything to protect you with."
- Starlock has posed:
"So who here don't you like? out of curiosity." She'd ask as she followed behind.
She'd glance up at Siege's back.
"Hopefully you can get your glaive back soon.."
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive wonders if we can lead Siegebreaker INTO the medical bay as he just keeps chatting Siegebreaker up. Especially since ideally if he goes into the medical bay first, Siegebreaker follows and he ducks to one side so that he can forcefield the entrance after starlock comes in and before Siegebreaker can get out. "It's not as bad as it was since Hot Rod graduated but there's the bulllies and I...I kept seein the cons that killed my friends comin after me and all."
- Siegebreaker has posed:
"I don't know which one Hot Rod is..." Siegebreaker tries to peer past the shelf to see where they're going, but it's too big! "You see - the 'Cons, are they here? Or is it like - like they're not actually there, but you see them anyway?"
- Starlock has posed:
"He was the red and yellow aft in the break room that rubbed me the wrong way."
Starlock piped up, reminding him of that encounter, she didn't dislike Hot rod, not yet anyway, but still, creeped her out slightly.
"I'm wondering on that too.. I kinda hope it's the latter and not the former, former we'ed have a lot of issues, and make me wonder about the security around here."
That's right, just keep following Hyperdrive.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive says, "He's brightly colored...flame pointjob. His chest plate looks like that dented ornament that was on my wall." And Okay do we make it into the medical bay? "Swing a little wider to avoid the doorway as we turn here..don't want ya clunkin yer head with the shelf." He goes in and immediatly moves out of the way, Hopefully starlock can push if he stops. Come on..... "Hot rod's a jerk though, and he'll make you do stuff that's his job if yer not careful.""
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker is silent for a bit as he scans his memory banks. "I... don't remember him. Did I meet him?" He carefully scoots about to fit the shelf through the doorway.
- Starlock has posed:
"briefly. likely not long enough to remember though."
Starlock answered as she came in behind Siege. hopefully allowing the blocking of the path and allowing Hyperdrive the opportunity he needs once they where inside.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive is waiting until Starlock clears the doorway before he raises his forcefield to try and lock Siegebreaker in. He feels absolutely terrible about this. But if he has avoided having to shoot the other mech and tie him up, that's a good thing right. "Well he doesn't care about anyone but himself it seems at times." As long as he keeps walking forward Hyperdrive says, "You can just put that down if you want....." Please don't throw it at me. He can't project the forcefield and protect himself at the same time. Primus let this work.
- Siegebreaker has posed:
"Where? Is this good?" Siegebreaker carefully eases the shelf down. It's a slow process, mostly because he doesn't want to smash his fingers between floor and shelf.
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock wasn't happy about what she was going to do, he'd stated he didn't want to be sedated, and she wanted to respect that, putting the box down, waiting for him to realize where he was, and mentally prepared herself for yelling, name throwing, mention of betrayal.
She'd clear her throat.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive's voice breaks a little, "J-just anywhere Siegebreaker...." Now he's completely miserable. ANd he doesn't look at the other mech knowing he's not going to want to see it when Siegebreaker realizes he's been caught.
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker straightens once the shelf is on the floor and looks around. He tilts his head to one side.
"I didn't know you were moving into the repair bay. Oh - are you becoming a medic?" he asks earnestly.
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock puffed her cheeks, why? why?! Why did the gods hate her, and torment her with making him this cute and.. Uuuhg, she needed to do her work though, crossing her arms, and looking stern... The break in Hyperdrive's voice didn't help.
"Ahh..."
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive isn't looking at Siegebreaker. He can't. But it might be more obvious when the forcefield is blocking the door. All he can manage is an, "I'm sorry..."
- Siegebreaker has posed:
"Why? What'd you -"
Siegebreaker finally turns around. Sees the forcefield. Looks at Hyperdrive, then at Starlock. Back and forth.
He goes silent.
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock sighed out, approaching him.
"I'm sorry.. We really need to get this done."
She'd knit her brows, hoping, hoping this wouldn't turn and shoot them in the foot as bad as she felt it would.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive sighs, "If you let them fix you...clean you up and everythin, you can have your weapons again. I'll even get you new ones if you want...but you need help so you can be better. I hate seein you hurt. And I hate seein you so afraid. I want you to be able ta stand strong with your weapons and all. Ya know?"
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker swiftly crosses the room to the forcefielded doorway. He raises a hand and presses it against the forcefield, frowning when it blocks him. The hand is withdrawn, then clenched into a fist before being smashed against the forcefield, again and again. What's odd is how calm the rest of him is, even though he's striking the barrier with almost manic speed.
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock felt all of her servos seize when Siege started to panic, she'd approach him again, and attempt to put her hand on his shoulder, knowing this was a horrible idea.
"Sieege, it's okay, I am not going to hurt you."
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive pulls his techvolt out and stares, wincing with each hit on his forcefield. "Please stop....Please...I don't want to have ta stun ya....please....." He really doens't want to do it but he's ready to if he must.
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Horrible idea indeed. As could be expected, Siegebreaker reacts poorly to being touched. His other hand reaches up, aiming to clasp hard around Starlock's wrist so that he can wrench the offending limb away from his shoulder.
- Starlock has posed:
he was panicking bad, she was more then a bit terrified, but this needed done. Reminds her of when she FIRST tried to patch him up! She'd brace herself for pain.
"S-Siege calm down now, I'm not going to hurt you, remember you are under orders to get looked at."
- Harbinger has posed:
Harbinger 's arrival is somewhat heralded by the click-click of her many legs carrying the Cyber-Ant along as she continues to explore Iacon and the Autobots' territory now that she is not being shot at on sight... well not shot at on sight very often now at least. She scurries along past the medbay down before the conversation inisde catches her attention and she backs up, her head peeking around the corner of the entrance to look inside.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive is watching the poor guy about to take out Starlock. He doesn't want her hurt. And so he acts, hoping this doesn't make everything worse. "I'm sorry..." He aims his weapon and shoots Siegebreaker. He hopes that he doesn't miss cause....well Starlock doesn't need a nap right?
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker's body siezes as the stunning bolt hits - and then he keels over with a clatter-crash. Harbinger is probably going to get a front-row view of this spectacle.
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock yelps when that happens, also watching, she's likely now also in full view of Starlock. She looks shocked on the outside but on the inside? loud internal screaming, she'd attempt to compose herself though.
"Er... Well.. That works."
She acts as if that was part of the plan, before sighing.
"Right, I'm going to need help getting him into the berth."
She'd start attempting to lift the poor taller bot up.
- Harbinger has posed:
Harbinger's head tilt even further to the side as she watches the Bots mug another Bot... her antennas twitch a bit in confusion before one of her forelegs inches around the entrance's edge and taptaps at the forcefield covering the entrance, her attention drawn away from the activites going on inside the center by the shiny glow of the forcefield, <<Shiney...>>
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive has discharged his weapon IN a medical bay of all places, after wrongfully restricting that mech's movements. Now he's going as far as to tie Siegebreaker's feet and his arms. Harbinger isn't noticed until there's something touching his forcefield. He brings the field down and frowns. If things are explained the wrong way, Siegebreaker might get in trouble. But if he...well...he's never seen the brig before and he's graduated so they can't ungraduate him can they? He moves to help Starlock move the mech onto one of the medical berths.
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Luckily for Starlock and Hyperdrive, Siegebreaker has a lighter build for his size category. It isn't too hard for both of them to move him, just a little unwieldy. He's utterly still and silent. For now.
- Starlock has posed:
Well he was on the berth now... But now Jazz was coming, Fragging scrap, now this really WAS Going to get awkward, She just gave hyperdrive this look and gesture as if asking what he was thinking... All she could do was slap her hand over her face.
She'd also give Siege a apologetic look and only sigh.
- Harbinger has posed:
Harbinger's face would pout a bit if the Insceticon's face would work as she keeps tapping at where the forcefield on the door had been, <<Aww... Harby liked the shiny door. Bring back the shiny door!>> Her tone raises a bit as she finally looks furhter into the room from her spot just around the corner outside of the door.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive frowns to Starlock and whispers softly, "I don't want either of you in trouble. If it looks like I started the fight, they'll focus on me. Just get him better...please?" He backs away after helping Starlock and then moves closer to the door, changing his expression to a cocky, no good jerk. Hey look he's imitating Hot Rod. He looks at the ant. "Well ya might have ta wait til later ta see any shiny doors...or you can join me in the brig. I'm sure that door is shiney too."
- Jazz has posed:
Rubbing his fraggin optics, Jazz enters the room. He stops at the door to yawn, he stretches his arms and works the kink out of his neck.
After making it very clear what he was doing before coming here he blocks the door and makes note of everyone present. All he says it.
"Well?"
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker is still motionless, tied up on a repair berth like a very peculiar sacrifice to a god of medicine. He's blissfully oblivious to the world around him, but he won't be for long. His optics flicker several times...
- Starlock has posed:
Welp, this was awkward, she'd sigh, and take a seat on the berth, and get to work on poor Siege. With Jazz here now should make things run a bit more smoothly...
least, she hopped, and would drag the empty datapad over to start his new medical record, and for now, played along with Hyperdrive's antics.
"Well, least it gives me a excuses to finely do his medical.." She'd mumble.
She'd bring over some equipment, plugging it in to start a full diagnostic on his systems, it was painless, still, felt odd al lthe same.
- Harbinger has posed:
Harbinger rolls her head up as Jazz fills the entrance to the medbay, antennas flicking a bit as she is still somewhat clueless on who anyone is in the room but some part of her memory nudges her to keep quiet so she crouches down closer to the floor but keeps her head peeking around the corner just enough to keep everyone in view as best as she can.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive laughs and points to Siegebreaker, "Hey starlock ya might wanna sedate him before he wakes up mad at me." Like really...sedate him! "Now you can make him all pretty and all and stop him from makin the bots look bad." To Jazz he smirks, "So ya wanna take a pic of me and my kill fer the report. I can pose while standin on him. Or let me hold one of the ropes. Somethin impressive ya know. Oh and make me a copy or two."
- Jazz has posed:
Jazz looks at Hyperdrive then Starlock then down at Harbinger then finally at Siegebreaker layed out.
He looks back at Hyperdrive and sighs.
"No really, what happened," he extends his hand, "Hand it over."
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker's optics flicker a few more times before they flick on and remain on. He's awake - mostly - and from the tiny frown that pulls at his mouth, he's trying to figure out what's going on, what just happened, why his head's all fuzzy, and most importantly, why he can't move his arms and legs.
He stiffens when Jazz speaks, almost like it's on cue.
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock would motion to Siege it was okay, keeping herself rather passive and none-threatening looking as she waited for the Diagnostic to complete itself, watching the monitor the wires where attached to, waiting for text to appear.
There where also meters showing his vitals, heat, etc. She was remaining quite while Hyperdrive did his thing, waving to Jazz briefly.
- Harbinger has posed:
Harbinger settles down onto the floo, since to her this all seems like one of those drama shows the Bot who recruited her had showed her, her antennas wiggling above her as the Cyber-Ant just crosses her front set of legs under her head.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive starts to hand over the techvolt. "Awww but I was hopin fer a pic of me and the big guy. I bet no one would pick on me ever again if they saw what I brought down." He then gives a bit of a smirk, "Course I could see how good you dance too. I'm sure if I outdid you, I'd even have cons second guessin pickin on me."
- Jazz has posed:
Was that a threat? I think that was a threat....
Jazz narrows his optics at Hyperdrive then it turns slowly into a smirk.
He keeps his hand out waiting for the weapon, "You have about 30 kliks to retract that statement Private."
Jazz's other hand slowly and very visibily moves to his hip.
He takes a step or two further into the Repair Bay, "Computer, Jazz, command authorization. Raise forcefield to the exits of repair bay."
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker turns his head ever so slowly towards the sound of voices. He's so tense that his frame is trembling, but he makes no move to escape the ropes immobilizing him.
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock would cringe more and more, as more data started coming up on the screen, mumbling a few things allowed in clear worry.
"nearly 90 percent of your memory banks are damaged.. normal wear from not tending to yourself for a long time and low fuel tanks....Flamethrowers?"
She'd ask almost a bit loudly.. Glad those where unable to function for the moment but all the same!
"Badly need of repair... " She'd look over to Jazz.
"Ah is this place equipped to run a deeper programming Diagnostic?"
- Harbinger has posed:
Harbinger jerks back as the forcefield is brought up again, a brief but loud chitter escaping her at the same time as her mandibles clack together, <<That almost hit Harby! Wh... oohh.. shiny back.>> Then returns to her previous activity of tapping one foreleg tip against the field.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive's expression for a moment shows fear. Everything freezes for a klick...apparently one of 30 klicks that he has before he tries to slide into character again. A character that's rather....hotroddish. "Come on...really?" He snaps his fingers and makes a forcefield come over himself. "I figure the frequency, I could probably just walk outta here. Besides this -IS- a medical bay. And I've already got this room crossed off on my card. Shall we take this outside and make a real game of it or we just gonna go have a race ta the brig. If I win, I at least get some snacks and a game pad." He smirks at Jazz, waiting for the response. He snaps his fingers again and his forcefield comes down. Starlock's words then make him lose character again and he looks toward Siegebreaker with real concern.
- Jazz has posed:
Jazz tilts his head considering for a long...long moment, but his hand is still out, "Hand. It. Over."
Without taking his optics off of Hyperdrive responds to Starlock, "Yes Doctor. This facility should be able to give you everything you need."
"Hand it over. Now. Don't worry, you are going to end up in the brig. Just do you want your paint scratched or not is up to you."
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker is behaving remarkably well. He's docile and silent, except for the whine/whir of his cooling systems kicking into overdrive and whatever faint sounds are caused by how violently he's trembling. The stress must be getting to him.
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock would nod to Jazz, and spin around in her seat, getting Siege prepped and set up, running that program diagnostic, she'd not the shuddering, and the sound of his fans.. Gently she'd place her hand on his shoulder, attempting to calm him, she'd also whisper to him trying to keep the others from hearing.
"Shhh.. Shh it's okay, will be over soon... Promise you, nothing bad will happen."
- Harbinger has posed:
Harbinger goes back to resting her head on her forearms as she wathces the scene inside the repair bay from outside the forcefield.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive hands over the weapon. Though there's a moment's hesitation before it fully leaves his hand. "You scuff my paint, I'll scuff yers.." Another wicked grin as he continues to try being distracting. "Sure yer up ta takin out a minibot?" Optics now stay off of Starlock and Siegebreaker otherwise he won't be able to keep things going.
- Jazz has posed:
Jazz takes the weapon and holds it at his side shaking his head he simply says, "Computer, lower forcefield," then towards Hyperdrive. "I beleive that you know the way," he looks around the rest of the room. "Carry on, I want reports from everyone present."
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Putting a hand on Siegebreaker's shoulder does the exact opposite of calming him down. He flinches as much as the ropes will allow, and anyone who's listening very closely might hear the "snikt" of his claws extending, though it's likely drowned out by the increasing whine of overburdened cooling systems.
He looks like he's gone far past terror and into the territory of despairing helplessness.
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock keeps trying to sooth him as the diagnostics work, she'd also start clean him up, and repairing some of the damage, being as gentle as she could be, going more then out of her way to make it as painless as she could.
She was also softly murmuring to him, trying to help calm him, even at least a little.
- Harbinger has posed:
Harbinger scrunches down a bit more, her body pressed up against the wall outside the entrance, her head still tilted almost vertizal to the floor as she peeks around it just enough that her optics and antennas show.... and maybe.. possibly nibbling on the doorframe just a bit as she keeps observing the 'show' inside.
- Hyperdrive has posed:
Hyperdrive heads towards the door, hoping that starlock has things all in hand. Worse comes to worse there are other medics that came come and help Starlock with Siegebreaker. Now to hope that Jazz won't be too rough with him. He can't help but give them one last look. But..he's got to keep up appearance. "Hey Starlock...makes sure he knows who took him down. He mighta forgot with that shock." And with that he leaves the medical bay.
- Jazz has posed:
Jazz looks around the room again and after a crease of his optic brow, he escorts Hyperdrive out.
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker waits until Jazz and Hyperdrive are gone before looking to where Harbinger is nomming on the door. He tries to make eye contact with her, and the look on his face is a clear sign of what he's trying to request: Help.
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock frowned at the diagnostic, just what did this bot go through? All the same, she kept working, slowly repairing his damaged systems, ungunking and repairing his claws so they wouldn't struggle to come out.
All while still trying to be gentle and hurt him as little as possible.
"Really.. it's okay Siege, i'm not going to hurt you, and you'll feel a lot better after this is done, and you'll get your glaive back."
- Harbinger has posed:
Harbinger would react to the coming and goings... but seems to have fallen asleep, the smallish Insecticon having gotten a bit too comfortable against the wall.
- Siegebreaker has posed:
The diagnostics computer gives off a few alerts suggesting that Starlock's patient is approaching something like a full-on meltdown or system crash. It also appears that Siegebreaker can somehow reach overheating temperatures just from lying there and staring pleadingly at a sleeping Insecticon. There are little scratch marks under his fingertips, where his claws had gouged into the repair berth as his hands do those convulsive clenching-unclenching motions.
- Starlock has posed:
And then panic, was he really that freaked out?! Right, she started working to get his systems to cool down, clearly nothing she'd done could really clam him.. She wanted badly to keep him awake like he asked, before finely admitting, he needed to be sedated, mumbling softly to him as she did.
"I'm sorry..."
- Siegebreaker has posed:
Siegebreaker goes limp as the sedative takes effect. It's painfully clear that he's still terrified out of his wits, and that look of utter despair lingers on his face even after his optics have gone dark.
- Starlock has posed:
Starlock Is not happy with what she's had to do, letting out a defeated, pathetic sigh, going to work to try and get all she could done before he'd awake, hoping she'd not have to do this again.
